I bought a banjo recently (about 200.00). The middle G string was twisted up with the D string. This put the thicker D string in the middle where the G string needed to go. I am really new at this. It is my first instrument and i have never played before. I am still waiting on my picks so have not actually tried to play yet but i am pretty sure i now have the strings on correct. Also found Tuner Ninja to tune to. Had to cut strings that were twisted because there would not have been enough wire to wrap around the pegs. Thank goodness i had ordered a set of strings when i ordered banjo. Shame on them for sending it that way. Where is quality control?
